It is recommended that you add `/Plugins/CakePHP-Seo-Plugin` to your .gitignore file. (Why? [read this](http://getcomposer.org/doc/faqs/should-i-commit-the-dependencies-in-my-vendor-directory.md).) *\[Manual\]* - Download this: - Unzip that download. - Copy the resulting folder to `app/Plugin` - Rename the folder you just copied to `CakePHP-Seo-Plugin` *\[GIT Submodule\]* In your app directory type: ``` git submodule add -b master git://github.com/stonelasley/seo.git Plugin/Seo git submodule init git submodule update ``` *\[GIT Clone\]* In your `Plugin` directory type: ``` git clone -b master git://github.com/stonelasley/seo.git Seo ``` ### Enable plugin [](#enable-plugin) In 2.0 you need to enable the plugin in your `app/Config/bootstrap.php` file: ``` CakePlugin::load('Seo'); ``` If you are already using `CakePlugin::loadAll();`, then this is not necessary. Features -------- [](#features) Complete tool for all your CakePHP Search Engine Optimization needs - Easy yet powerful 301 redirect tools only loaded when a 404 would otherwise occur - Highly configurable and intelligent 404 deep url guessing utilizing levenshtein's distance and your sitemap.xml - Highly configurable and customizable Meta Tags for any incoming URI - Title tag overwrites based on URI - Custom Status Codes based on URI - Scrapper Banning administration, complete with honeyPot baiting for scrappers to ban themselves. - Google Analytics AB Testing Management based on URIs Setup ----- [](#setup) Create the file `app/config/seo.php` with the following configurations like so: ``` ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) SEO Redirect/Status Code Quick Start ------------------------------------ [](#seo-redirectstatus-code-quick-start) update file `app/Config/core.php` with the following: ``` ``` update file `app/Config/bootstrap.php` with the following: ``` require_once(APP .
